Vif. Vogeley SmiMARY Plight tests were made of a Curtlss No. 7ll|-lC2-12 four-Llade propeller on a ?lepublic P-/_|-7C airplane in climb and at high speed. The loss in efficienoy v;/hen power v;as increased from normal to military was found to be from ^ to ?:> percent in climbs at an indicated airspeed of 165 m.iles per hour. This loss was attributed primarily to reductions in section lift-drag ratios resulting from increased operating lii't coefficients. In high-speed flight at m.illtary power, losses in efficiency due to compressibility started at an airplane Mach numiber less than O.I4. and increased steadily to 10 or 11 percent at an airplane Mach number of 0,7. These losses were encountered whenever the prooeller-tip Mach number exceeded 0.83 and the propeller efficiency decreased at a rate of about 7 percent for an increase of 0.1 in tip Mach number. At an airplane Mach number of 0.7 S-nd constant propeller rotational speed the propeller efficiency decreased with a decrease in power below military povver. In comparison with the efficiencies of low- speed flight tests (a Mach number of approxi- mately 0.3) at the same advance-diameter ratio, however, the compressibility loss was relatively independent of power . The tests indicated that, by suitably increasing the solidity and reducing the rotational speed, it may be possible to improve the propeller efficiency in both climb and high-speed operation.

Results of these tests and a brief analvijis ax'c presented herein.

High-speed tests.- Each high-speed run was made at value 'T of en£-ine~~3pe5d. torque, indicated airspeed, and pressure altitude selected to produce a desired combination of values of aii-Dlane I,"ach number, propeller advance - diamecer ratio, and power coefficient. Because the air- olane v.-as usvxaily either clim.bing or diving during a run, only engine speed, torque, and airspeed coula be fixed. These values were therefore held constant as the airplane passed through the desired altitude, when a shore record ■.vas taken. The low-speed runs (''I '~ O.5), used as a basis for determining the effects of compressibility, were miade in the same manner as the high-speed runs. REDUCTION 07 DAT. True airsDeed, airplane Mach number, and air density were obtained by standard reduction methods from the recorded values of imoact oressure, static pressure, and indicated free -air temperature. Engine speed, torque, and propeller blade angle were recorded directly. Propeller povi?er coefficient was calcultited by the formula Cp - pn^D'^ ProTjeller-tip Mach numbei' was obtained from the equation .t = v^ . (5) , r percc-nt. By I'educing the power coefficient at essentially the sairie advance-dian'e tsr ratio, as in the normal -pov;er climb at an indicated airspeed of l60 miles per hour (fig. 5)» the propeller efficiency is increased to approximately 80 percent. An additional gain in efficiency of about 5 oercent is achieved by Increasing the airplane speed and thereby increas-*_ng bhe advance -dianieter ratio, as in the climb of figure o. These gains in efficiency are due primarily to reductions in the section lift coef- ficients that cause the sections to operate at lift-diag ratios anoroaching the optimum.. The climb perform.ance of the airplane is, of course, not im.proved bj the increase in nroDeller efficiency because of the large reduction in oovver required to effect the Increase. Jn order to improve the airplane climb oerform.ance , a prorieller designed to absorb military power at these higher section lift-drag ratios is necessary; in effect, an increase in solidity is required. H igh-3'oeed test s.- In order to determine tiie effects of compressibility on prooeller operation at constant power, two series of i-uns v.'ere made at airplane ¥ach numbers ranging from .Ij- to O.7. One series v^as made at a povver coefficient of about 0.33> which corresponds apnroximatel;^ to military-power operation at critical altitude {^'J.OOb ft). The second series v.-as made at a pov^er coefficient of about O.29, \mich corresponds to m.ilitary oower at an altitude of about iSjOOO feet. The data obtained in these tests are given in table II. The pi-cpeller ex'f iciencies measured at high speeds are compared in figure 8 with the efficiencies measured at low spced (F ~ O.J) in runs covering the same ranges of power coefficient and advance-diameter ratio. The lowf-speed tests are surrmiarized in figure 9> v.'hich shows the variation of propeller efficiency with power coefficient and advance-diameter ratio. CONFIDENTIAL NACa ACR No. lI^LO? CONFIDENTIAL 9 At the oroDeller s-oeed used, in the runs of figure 8, losses in efficiency due to compressibility apparently tegln at an airolane Mach number below O.Li, increase steadily, and reach 10- to 1]. percent at an airplane Mach number of U.7. The corresponding propeller-tip Kach numbers range from about O.95 to I.07. The effect of propeller- tip Mach number on efficiency is shown in figure 10, in which the ratio of high-speed efficienc7f to low-speed efficiency is given as a function of >he high-speed propeller-tip Mach numoer. Figure 10 shows that losses in efficiency begin at Mt = 0.38, which is in close agreement v/ith the results of the climb tests. The efficiency loss due to compressibility is shov/n to increase at the rate of about 7 percent for an increase of 0.1 in tip Kach number. Thrust-grading curves of runs at a power coefficient of 0.35 3-1^6 presented in figure 11. As in the climb runs, only the right side of the propeller disk shows any apprecisble compressibility loss (fig. 11(a)). As the Mach num.ber is increased, nowever, compressibility losses also beconi.e evident on the left side (fig. 11(b)). With further increase in Mach number, the losses becom.e larger and extend inboard over a greater portion of the propeller blade. The thrust-grading cui'-ve of a run made at an airolane Mach number of about O.5 and at a reduced rotational speed is presented in figure 12. The advance- diameter ratio and oower coefficient are approxim.ately the sam=e as those of figure 11(f), The marked difference in the shape . of these grading curves indicates the extent of the losses in the high-speed run of figure 11(f). Figure 12 may also be com.oared vi'lth figure 11(b). These two runs were made at roughly the same power coefficient and airplane Mach number. The curves for the two runs illustrate how compressibility losses may be reduced by decreasing the propeller rotational speed and thereby reducing the section Mach numbers. By reducing the rotational speed, the propeller efficiency is increased about L percent or about one -half the Increase to be expected from the reduction in tip Maeh number alone (fig. 10). This difference indicates that the propeller- tip Mach numiber alone does not determine the magnitude of the comipressibility losses. CONFIDENTIAL 10 CONFIDENTIAL MCA ACR Ho. I^-LO? The effect of loading on the prupeller efficiency at high sneed was investigated "by making a series of runs at an airrilane I.iach number of about 0.7 and constant nrooeller speed with varying r)ower. The results of these tests are compared in figure IJ with the results taken from figure 9 '^^ low-speed tescs at the same advance- dia?neter- ratio and pov,'er coefficients. The extrapolated, point in figure IJ was determined, by first extending the curve for the high-speed tests (Cp :: 0.55) in figure 8 to an airolane Mach number of 0.7 and an advance-diameter ratio of 2.6. The value of efficiency obtained was then corrected to an advance-diameter ratio of 2.7 by using the curve for the low-speed tests (Cp - 0.55) of" figure S. As the cower Is reduced the propeller efficiency decreases at both low and high speeds. The compressibility loss at high speed, as measured by the diffei-ence in high-speed and low-speed, efficiency, appears to be relatively independent of povver and is about 10 to li| percent throughout the rango investigated. The effect of compressibility is to reduce the lift coefficient for maximum section efficiency as the critical Lach number is exceeded. A decrease in po'vver would, consequently, be expected to cause a reduccion in comores sibi lity loss. In this case, however, some sections of the propeller are apinarently operating at approximiately maximum efficiency and som.e, at lift coef- ficients above those for maxim.um efficiency. Under such circuniPtances a reduction in power would result in a decrease in efficiency of so.me sections and an improvement in efficiency in others; the over-all effect vould be only a small change in compressibility loss. Figure lU shows that the tip sections are operating at highest efficiency at high Dower, since' as the power is reduced the tip sections prodvice a decreasing amiount of thrust in comparison with tne inboard sections. Some gain in high-speed efficiency could rrobably be obtained by an adjucjtment in load distribution. A comparison of the results of the high-speed and low-speed tests indicates that. In order to prevent large losses in efficiency, blade-section Mach numbers m.ust be limited by reducing the rotational speed. At the sam.e time, however, any adverse effect due to the increase in section lift coel'f icients necessary to absorb the same engine power at a lower rotational speed must be avoided by a proper increase in propeller solidity. CONFIDENTIAL NACA ACR No. Li|L07 CONFIDENTIAL 11 CONCLUSIONS Plight tests of the Gurtiss No. 7li4.-lC2-12 four- blade propeller on a Republic P-ij-YC airplane indicated the following conclusions: 1. In climbs at an indicated airspeed of 165 miles per hour^ from S to 8 percent was lost in efficiency by- increasing from normal to military power, primarily because of the reductions in section lift-drag ratio that resulted from increased operating lift coefficients. 2. '\i1:ith military DOwer, losses in efficiency due to compressibility started at an airplane Mach number less than O.ls, increased steadily, and reached 10 to 11 percent at an airplane Mach number of 0.7. Compressi- bility losses becajue evident whenever the propeller-tip Mach number exceeded about 0.88, and the propeller efficiency docreased at a rate of about 7 percent for an increase of 0.1 in tip I.Tach number. 3. At an airplane Mach number of O.7, a reduction in engine power below military power resulted in a lower propeller efficiencjr, but the loss in efficiency due to compressibility (based on low-speed tests at a corre- sponding advance-dlam.eter ratio) was relatively independent of power. Ij.. By suitably increasing the solidity and reducing the rotational speed, an improvement in the propeller efficiency in both climb and high-speed operation m.ay be possible .
